MOAVBILLY Only good thing it's not snowing in Katy, TX
Count your blessings. I had to take a half-day's vacation yesterday because I couldn't get out of my driveway here in the Northeast. So, I mortared a brick wall for a DPM kit until the plow came.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

I wish I was in your shoes. We haven't been getting much snow here in the midwest, but when it does it's $$$ in my pocket.

Never attempt anything you don't want to explain to the EMT
MOAVBILLY Not a good start to 2011....#1....UPS lost shipment from CMT.#2....Parts and info missing from IMRC loco kit. #3....Bachmann reports 8 weeks to repair new, under warranty, Climax. Took 12 days from receipt of item to entry into the repair dept.Only good thing it's not snowing in Katy, TX
Just wait Bill, just wait. There are still several more months of winter left....
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
opps
maybe I should not say anything but I just got done with 10 inches of that white stiff, tired of it, and when done i have to take a nap so I can try to do something in the train room. Have a good day all and don't send any more snow this winter .

Sounds like a typical week to me.

Here's something that might cheer you up by comparison. I just had my car in the shop Wednesday for what I thought would be an alignment and new tires -- ended up costing me $1,100. Car started running rough last night so I took it back in. Estimate for more work is $1,400.
I'm TRYING to save money for a new garage that would include some layout space.
Oh yeah, one more thing. During his State of the Union speech Tuesday, President Obama singled out the area I work in for cuts.
It got lost in some snowbank near Bradford S.D.

Yep. I think the same thing. I'm always suspicious when I bring my car home from the mechanic ... and immediately have another problem.
Whatever you do don't ask the old question "What else can happen"? I guarantee you will have an answer shortly after.

I took the transmission for my Jeep to a local shop for a repair & they told me it needed to be either completely rebuilt or replaced to the tune of $1400.00. I took it hom & took it apart myself and replaced a little clip that cost me .29 cents. Has worked great ever since.
It will get better, no? Live in Minnesota and you'll have 64" of snow.

ROUTE ROCK!

Jimmy, I hate to tell you this ... but i DO live in Minnesota!
It took me five hours 28 minutes to drive 5.3 miles home from work the other night, and there was no power when I got home. 2011 can only go up from here.

We have the same thing in northern Michigan. Our new state slogan is," Come to Michigan where we have 11 months of good sledding and one when it's not so hot".

Ours is getting there...11 months sledding...8 months construction destruction........they use the less snowier times to muck up our roads....

That reference was not to you and I didn't mean to start anything with some cheesehead. So mind your own business.
Besides, If the your team does pull one out of there$1***$2they will still be 2 Lombardi's behind. And by the way guess where your head coach is from? that's right PGH Pa

It's an open forum. If you didn't want anyone else to comment on it you should have sent an e-mail.
Miller Engineering made the Heinz logo-sign and the Clark Bar billboard, ergo its easier to construct an HO scale Heinz Field.

Let's not end up with another locked thread here..we're only having fun here....remember? Fun?
Try this one on for size, December 08 I went into the hospital because the flu that I was given because some clown couldn't cover his face when he sneezed in mine didn't want to go away. In January 09 I left the hospital and came home, minus my left leg from 3" above the knee. I've been having a bad year for 2 years now. Anybody wanna trade?
And before you ask "did I get an attorney" the answer is "yes", and that's another story of incompetence...........(***, I can't find my dictionary either!!)

Oh yea, and I forgot to mention that when I got home I found out that on New Year's Eve a drunken driver had driven off the road and through our yard killing my favorite cat who was doing his business in the front yard at the time.
His excuse was he thought it was "his" driveway until he hit the tree..........apparently the State Troopers didn't beleive him, but my cat was just as dead.
As the old salt slogan says, "When it rains it pours"!
I guess that post can go both here and the thread about keeping kats out of the train room.
I am new on the MRR forums, I was wondering if you guys could explain what is the reason for the msgs like this and the elliots dinner page? ive got up the courage to ask a few questions about our hobby and have got some great ideas and advice, thanks, The main reason i got into railroading is i think its fun, I enjoy making things, and i get some kind of personal satisfaction from it, And for me it keeps my mind busy, i drive a truck for a living and i have alot of time to think, i try and spend my time thinking of how can i do this or that instead of thinking how my jobs stinks, my wifes hates me, my health stinks, i`m broke, etc! maybe i`l try and find the Dr.phil, Espn,or Jerry springer web sites to look for modeling/railroading conversations, Thor.
You do realize that to the rest of us what you stated there is a little scary?
